The series comprises clippings about the acting careers of Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy that were collected by Katherine Cronyn Harley. It primarily contains clippings from newspapers and magazines of reviews of their plays and films, and profiles of their lives and work, but there are also playbills, promotional material, and other items like the program for Hume Cronyn's induction to the Order of Canada in 1988. Some of his plays and films for which there are a considerable amount of clippings (Jessica Tandy collaborated with him in many of these productions) include Three Men on a Horse (1935-1936), The Seventh Cross (1944), The Survivors (1948), Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (1950), Hilda Crane (1950), The Fourposter (1951-1954), The Man in the Dog Suit (1958), Triple Play (1959), Big Fish, Little Fish (1961), A Delicate Balance (1966), Hadrian VII (1969), The Merchant of Venice (1976), The Gin Game (1977-1979), The Petition (1986), and Foxfire (1987).

This series also holds clippings for some of Jessica Tandy's work on stage and screen without Cronyn, especially for her role as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire (1947-1948). There are also a few clippings pertaining to their daughter Tandy Cronyn's acting career, particularly her performances at the Stratford festival in the 1980s.
